Draft only!

Please don't get bogged down over the draft wording here, which can certainly be revised. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:25, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

In this RfC, you are asked to support or oppose two contrasting possibilities about how drug prices and pricing might be presented on pages about medications. Please do not comment within the propositions section; instead, comments should go in the RfC section, below. The RfC will run for a full 30 days, and will be closed by a panel of three uninvolved administrators.

Propositions

Proposition 1

Widespread inclusion of drug prices in drug articles is discouraged. Content about drug pricing should be included in articles only when reliable independent secondary sources have written about issues that are specifically about the pricing of those drugs; primary sources should be avoided or used only with care. The content should be in paragraph text form, typically in a History or Economics section of the page.

Sample article text:

Specific example(s) of text, with sources cited.[1][2]

  1. ^ cite 1
  2. ^ cite 2

Arguments why Prop 1 is a good idea:

  1. reason, policy
  2. reason, policy
  3. etc.

Arguments why Prop 2 is problematic:

  1. reason, policy
  2. reason, policy
  3. etc.

Proposition 2

Drug prices should routinely be included in as many drug articles as possible. Secondary sources should not be required. Appropriate primary sources include: example, example.
